Manhunt Recap: The Montreal Affair
It’s starting to feel like this Andrew Johnson fellow isn’t exactly on the up-and-up.
On some level he might know this is a fantasy, but the waking world brings delusions of its own, specifically thoughts of the fame and glory — if not the presidency of a restored Confederacy — that awaits him when he makes it to Richmond. So Cox sends him back to the wilderness to wait for someone called “the River Ghost,” led by Swann, who demands more money and reveals he’s only willing to put up with their hateful nonsense for as long as they keep paying him. • This episode continues to use flashbacks that complement the present-day action and provide historical context, like the meeting between Lincoln, Stanton, and Frederick Douglass (Elvis Nolasco), in which the three discuss Black soldiers serving in the Union Army.
